New Music: original composition, tense, mellow, and exploratory

Anecdotally, It took me longer to come up with the art than the composition itself.

Please download by the end of the weekend. If you need a little extra time, just let me know.

"Hauntingly Ethereal Music — The juxtaposition of the more traditional instruments and the electronic sound is both haunting and beautiful. A perfect soundtrack for it's song titles, the album is at times spooky and suspenseful, inspiring and soaring, with both mellow and dramatic moments." — M. Feza

"LOVE this mans work!!! – I have loved this mans work since the '90's - a mix of flavors, colors and sounds his work is ahead of tis time and will take you on mind trips when you hear it!" — S.B. Farcas

"It's good music" — Rev. Fever.

New full length CD available now!

I've posted another full length CD and it's available for download and streaming right now. Originally composed and recorded in 2001, this is a previously unreleased work I've kept to myself for 10 years. Time to let it get some air.

Feel free to download it for free or pay what you want by clicking BUY NOW at http://thestark.bandcamp.com/album/what-might-have-been

There's a bonus song included for people who download the album - a gritty electronic cover of Lennon/McCartney's "L.S.D." song. It's a hidden track, so you won't get to see it until you download the album. 

If you like it, please "Like" it!

Boxes. 2 years of 3D rendering.

I love how boxes work in Cinema 4D. Subtle textures, subtle lighting. It's been a good 2 years since I started rendering in 3D and I simply LOVE it! 

New Music: "It's No Good (Extended)" Not my usual stuff...

Straightforward, extended instrumental for DJ Ronabell's BlackRock Set 2011. Highly compatible with Depeche Mode's "It's No Good"  (hand-crafted for extended remixing of Depeche Mode's "It's No Good" 1997 single). This track is 98% original sound design and includes a little Easter Egg for DM fans.

An upbeat 99BPM. Dancy.

Free to download and stream at http://thestark.bandcamp.com/track/its-no-good-extension

I just tested it and all electronics are in excellent working condition -1/4" mono jack, volume and tone knobs have no snap/crackle/pop
Velvet/satin lined case is immaculate and fits the viola perfectly

I bought this from online in 2001 or 2002 and it has been in it's case the vast majority of the time. I would estimate it has had 2-4 hours of play time tops.

Please note that this viola absolutely requires amplification. There is no body to resonate any sound so you must plug this into an amp/headphone of some sort. Perfect for quiet practicing or loud amplified performances

Asking $400. OBO. Please pass this ad on if you know anyone who might be interested.
